PSU Indy FILM STUDY
See Link. Spun this unexpected adversity as a positive. Two things stood out: 1. the all-22 view of the pick really shows how gunshy Allar was on this play -- and presumably a lot of plays this season. The WRs have been popular punching bags this season (and maybe rightfully so) but I think the limitations of the TV broadcast window has helped facilitate the "no one is open. no one is getting separation narrative." Open doesn't mean "social distancing" open -- it means a step that offers a window for the QB to place the ball. Hopefully throwing the pick takes that pressure to not mess up off Drew's back, because we can't beat Michigan if he doesn't make 4-5 WOW throws, IMO. 2. The way the threat of Pribula's legs holds the second-level backside defenders on zone read/read option really jumps off the screen. That 3rd down and 7 was 7 blockers vs 8 box defenders, but it worked because Beau's presence prevented the backside defenders from cheating inside. 3rd and 3, 3rd and 2 bring him in ala Will Levis in 2020...especially since the T seems to have been figured out.
